equal-education-opportunity.csv
In 1964, the US Congress passed the Civil Rights Act and also ordered a survey of school districts to evaluate the availability of equal educational opportunity in public education. The results of this survey were reported on in Coleman et al. (1966) and Mosteller & Moynihan (1972). The data in equal-education-opportunity.csv are a subset of the data collected. These data, provided by Chatterjee & Hadi (2012), constitute a random sample of 70 schools from the original data. The attributes, which have all been mean-centered and standardized, include:
achievement: Measurement indicating the student achievement levelfaculty: Measurement indicating the faculty’s credentialspeer: Measurement indicating the influence of peer groups in the schoolschool: Measurement indicating the school facilities (e.g., building, teaching materials)
